There are lots of job postings, but they seem either US-Resident-only or 15k a year posts. Anyone really has a great, remote job?

Yes.

I am a US resident though -- and a native American English speaker (which is more important than many realize).

Started at a company locally, then I became remote. I feel that may the path of least resistance if you're looking to make that type of money. US resident here.

I work at Trello, and the FogCreek, Trello, StackOverflow trio of companies (1) hire remote (2) even non-US and (3) pay US market salaries.

See their respective sites for current openings.

I found this job on Careers.StackOverflow.com (which has a lot of remote jobs and good filtering) -- if you need an invite, my contact info is on my HN profile page.

Why do people care if you speak Native American English vs. just normal english? I didn't even realize Native Americans had their own dialect.

There was a capital letter there that you ignored which changes the context of the statement.

Yes, I'm outside of the US, making 100k+ working for a US company, using my favorite language (c#). The company hires people from Europe, Asia, South America, wherever there's talent.

Most definitely, it helps to know people in person rather than applying through a job posting though.
